Please Give Me Your Suggestions

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi, I'm currently a junior in high school. I'm wondering if anyone would like to give me some more suggestions of colleges or universities that suit me? I've already tried using college searches on websites like College Board and this website. I would like to get some more ideas from other people. Some tips or more advice would be nice as well. I apologize about the lack of information of my GPA, SAT scores, and class rank.</p>

<p>Some information about me:</p>

<p>-GPA: I'm not sure what my final GPA is yet.
-SAT scores: I didn't take the SATs yet, but I'm taking them this school year.
-Class Rank: I don't know what my class rank is, but I'm an A/B student.</p>

<p>-Majors interested in: I'm interested in double majoring studio art with biology. I love both art and biology. I've been drawing ever since I was a toddler. I also love biology because of my curiosity and love of learning more about the science of life. I would also like a college with a psychology major in case I want to switch one of my majors.</p>

<p>-Sports interested in for college: I would like to get into a college/university with women's track and field. I love participating in track in high school, and I want to continue the sport in college.
-Other stuff I want to do in college: A symphony orchestra in college would be nice since I want to continue practicing music on my violin. Maybe a co-op program would be nice as well.</p>

<p>-College location: I would prefer going to a college or university in New England or New York.
-Type of college: I would like to go to a four-year college/university.</p>

<p>-Extracurriculars in high school:
Art Club (vice president)
Environmental Club/Roots and Shoots
Science Club (joining this school year)
Orchestra
Cross Country (fall)
Indoor Track (winter)
Outdoor Track (spring)</p>

<p>-Some colleges/universities I'm interested in:
Northeastern University
Brandeis University
Boston College</p>

<p>-Other: In my sophomore year of high school, I've gotten two academic awards for science and math from my school.</p>

<p>If you've read this and gave me some suggestions, thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Might I ask what state you live in currently as well as if you have had a talk with your family about money issues? (For example, how much could they afford to donate to your education each year?)</p>

<p>Also, while not doubting you could get into any schools at all, you may want to look for a couple of schools that would be considered ‘safeties’ where your acceptance would not be an issue…If you live in Mass., that might be like one of the UMass’es.</p>

<p>These are just some schools in the area you like as it is hard to give more suggestions without knowing the size school you want and your grades and test scores.</p>

Boston university

<p>@stanatedj , I live in Massachusetts. I talked to my family about money issues, and money issues aren’t a problem. I’ll consider some of the UMass’es like UMass Amherst and UMass Dartmouth. Thank you for the reply and the suggestions.</p>

<p>@Swimmer576 , I really apologize about the lack of information about my grades and test scores. I actually don’t care about which size school I want to go to. I think both large and small schools have their benefits. Some of the schools you mentioned don’t have studio art as a major since I plan on double majoring in biology and studio art. I’ll consider some of the schools you mentioned on your reply to this thread. Thank you for the reply and the suggestions.</p>

<p>List of schools so far that I’m interested in:
Northeastern University
Brandeis University
Boston College
UMass Amherst
UMass Dartmouth
Clark
Union
NYU
Columbia</p>

<p>Should I add some more safety schools that I’m interested in?</p>

<p>No problem I love helping people out. I am sorry I suggested schools with out studio art programs. If you are willing to not go to school in NY or MA I know temple in PA has a great studio arts program and it is not supper hard to get into. You might want to look into it. Also I would defiantly add some more safety schools to the list.</p>
